Digital Mentors: An Invitation to Tender

Communities and Local Government are seeking bids from individual organisations and consortia which have community engagement and media literacy training experience. We envisage the lead organisation as coming from the community and voluntary sector or the commercial sector where there are demonstrable strong community links. Local government partners may also be interested.

The successful bidder will be in a co-ordination role, helping shape and lay the foundations for a sustainable and scalable national initiative. The co-ordinator will identify and support a variety of demonstrator projects which can most benefit from access to 'Digital Mentors'.

More information about our current thinking on the co-ordination role, the role of digital mentors and demonstrator project selection framework can be found in the Expression of Interest form below.

You may also be interested in the forum we have opened to further debate and develop this initiative.

Latest update

Following the Digital Mentor Workshop held on the 19 November 2008 Communities and Local Government are pleased to post the presentation used at that workshop and a summary of the questions and answers raised.

The deadline for Expressions of Interest has now closed.
